حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ ، عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، أَنَّ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنَ وَقَّاصٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ ، قَالَ لِبَوَّابِهِ : " اذْهَبْ يَا رَافِعُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُلْ : لَئِنْ كَانَ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ فَرِحَ بِمَا أُوتِيَ ، وَأَحَبَّ أَنْ يُحْمَدَ بِمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ مُعَذَّبًا ، لَنُعَذَّبَنَّ أَجْمَعُونَ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : " وَمَا لَكُمْ وَلِهَذِهِ ، إِنَّمَا دَعَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَهُودَ فَسَأَلَهُمْ عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَكَتَمُوهُ إِيَّاهُ ، وَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِغَيْرِهِ ، فَأَرَوْهُ أَنْ قَدِ اسْتَحْمَدُوا إِلَيْهِ بِمَا أَخْبَرُوهُ عَنْهُ فِيمَا سَأَلَهُمْ ، وَفَرِحُوا بِمَا أُوتُوا مِنْ كِتْمَانِهِمْ " ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى قَوْلِهِ : : يَفْرَحُونَ بِمَا أَتَوْا وَيُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُحْمَدُوا بِمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلُوا سورة آل عمران آية 187 - 188 . تَابَعَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ . ح حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ مَرْوَانَ بِهَذَا .
Narrated Alqama bin Waqqas: Marwan said to his gatekeeper, "Go to Ibn `Abbas, O Rafi`, and say, 'If everybody who rejoices in what he has done, and likes to be praised for what he has not done, will be punished, then all of us will be punished." Ibn `Abbas said, "What connection have you with this case? It was only that the Prophet called the Jews and asked them about something, and they hid the truth and told him something else, and showed him that they deserved praise for the favor of telling him the answer to his question, and they became happy with what they had concealed. Then Ibn `Abbas recited:-- "(And remember) when Allah took a Covenant from those who were given the Scripture..and those who rejoice in what they have done and love to be praised for what they have not done.' " (3.187-188) Narrated Humaid bin `Abdur-Rahman bin `Auf: That Marwan had told him (the above narration No. 91).

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The first hadith is narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (radi Allahu anhu).
According to its implication, this verse was revealed concerning the hypocrites, whereas from the hadith narrated by Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu), it is understood that the context of revelation (shan al-nuzul) of this verse pertains to the conduct of the Jews of Madinah. Although, in terms of the coherence of the subject matter, the narration of Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) appears to be more weighty, because even before this verse, the misdeeds of the Jews are being discussed. However, in this subject, not only the hypocrites but even the Muslims themselves can be included.
That is, whoever desires such fame that he is a great sincere person, trustworthy, self-sacrificing, devoted servant of the people, or a scholar of religion—or seeks fame for any of these qualities—while in reality the matter is not so, or if someone has put in only a little effort in a good deed but desires much more fame and renown than is due, then his fate will be as mentioned in the verse.
➋
In any case, although the noble verse is specific in terms of its revelation, the generality of the wording includes every person who does a good deed and then, boasting and showing pride, expresses happiness over it, and also likes that people praise him for deeds he has not done. However, the statement of Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) is that this verse is specific only to the People of the Book; this can be considered his particular position, which is contrary to the stance of the majority.
And Allah knows best.
